Truly, I don’t think
We are ever completely
Certainly, ready

This one, I can’t figure out what end line I prefer.
What do you think?
Sometimes you have to
Sing, read the letter, carry on
Can you feel your voice?
Sometimes you have to
Sing, read the letter, carry on
Does your voice tremble?

Happy National Haiku Poetry Day!
I swear there are fifteen different national holidays every single day. I’m on the fence about this. When every day is multiple National holidays, it kind of feels like it never really is a holiday. BUT, on the other hand, there’s the rare national holiday that I totally feel like celebrating (and, you know, happen to hear about in the first place). So I do like it. It allows us to each pick the ones we like and have fun with those.
I’m a conflicted individual.
This holiday is always on April 17th.
A haiku is a form of Japanese poetry.
It’s typically non rhyming and uses the elements of nature, language that captures emotions or memories, and/or beauty. Its flowing and very much poetic. It’s made of three lines. Each line has a specific amount of syllables. 5, 7, 5.
I had no clue this holiday existed.
Funny enough, last night I thought of a haiku before falling asleep.
It was the first time
Wind wiped it away again
It’s not the first try
